Bernardo Silva also got on the score sheet during a dominant display by the visitors at La Ceramica that highlighted City's depth and efficiency, with the Norwegian continuing to lead the line in imperious form.

City came close to an early breakthrough seconds after kickoff, when Jeremy Doku’s low shot was superbly saved by Villarreal goalkeeper Luiz Junior.

Pep Guardiola’s City side took the lead in the 17th minute, when Rico Lewis delivered a precise pass for Haaland to fire home a first-time effort from the edge of the six-yard box.

The strike extended Haaland’s scoring streak to 12 consecutive matches and took his Champions League tally to four this season.
